Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on July 26, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Joaquin Benoit! May your celebrations be as deceptive and surprising as that legendary low-80s change-up of yours. Just when we thought hitters had you figured out, you'd leave them swinging at air—especially during those stellar seasons with the Detroit Tigers from 2011 to 2013.

From your early days dazzling fans in Texas Rangers blue to becoming a bullpen hero in Motown, you've always kept batters guessing and teammates smiling. Here's hoping this birthday brings you joy that's even more timeless than your pitching style—and may life never throw anything harder at you than an easy-going fastball down the middle!
